"You can say it is a master stroke from Louis van Gaal because it has come off. Tim Krul was stepping out to put pressure on Costa Rica, it wasn't nice to see but he saved two penalties and is the hero. What can you say?"

"Van Gaal will take all the plaudits, and the Netherlands probably deserved it. But Costa Rica, their endeavour, absolutely wonderful."

Tim Krul shares a warm embrace from Jasper Cillessen, the goalkeeper who lost his place just for the shootout - where goalkeepers can become heroes.

Harsh on Costa Rica, who put in a magnificent shift. I didn't like to see some of the antics from Tim Krul but you can't argue with the impact he made. What a World Cup debut...

They've done it! Tim Krul came off the bench to save two penalties! Another masterstroke from Louis van Gaal...

An excellent save from the specialist shootout stopper. Louis van Gaal's super sub has saved the Dutch.

The best so far, right into the bottom left corner. No chance for Navas, four out of four for the Dutch.

More mind games from Krul, delaying tactics, but they don't affect Bolanos.

Navas goes early and Sneijder picks his spot.

Mind games here with Tim Krul looking to disrupt proceedings. But Gonzalez is having none of it. Excellent penalty.
SCORES!published at 23:43 British Summer Time 5 July 2014
Calm and collected as you might expect. Navas goes the wrong way and it's advantage Netherlands.

This time Krul gets a hand to it and parries it away.

Keeper goes the right way but that one is right in the corner. Relief on Robin van Persie's face.
SCORES!published at 23:41 British Summer Time 5 July 2014
Low and into the corner, firmly struck. Krul goes the right way but through it goes.

BBC Radio 5 live"Netherlands have great players, there are five penalty takers you can name straight away but what is interesting is that they have changed the goalkeeper.
"At the 1990 World Cup I remember wondering whether we could have brought on Dave Beasant for England, who was more of a specialist penalty specialist than Peter Shilton."
